If my guess is right the suppliers names is Dellow....They are located
in Sydney, NSW, Australia..and they also sell things in New Zealand. The
Toyota 5 speed conversion is very popular and Dellow provide kits to fit
just about anything(including gearbox if needed)...The make bellhousings to
mate most boxes to most motors and they also do custom work...
The number is 64 2 7744419....
